Students will explore states of matter and the water cycle by bringing water to life with their bodies. By enacting the changes that water molecules experience, students will learn scientific information kinesthetically.

Description

In this lesson students will form tableaux (frozen pictures) representing what they are reading or hearing. This is a great way to bring the story to life and to check for comprehension. It is also a great way to activate learning.

Description

Students will become a part of a cell by examining cell diagrams. Each student will use their body, voice and movement to become a particular part of the cell. After they own the character or cell, they are paired up to create dialogue between the different parts of the cell. Short, two part scenes explore the cell parts as well as their purpose and attributes as Cell Talk bring the cell to life before the students very eyes. Through embodying the parts of animal and plant cells, students get a more in depth understanding of their functions. They explore the cell world from the point of view of its parts.
